Ok, I've hacked something together.  Perhaps it'll make to contrib at some 
point, but if anybody wants, just email me.  Output looks like:


talk.politics.misc              62arts (85% syr)        211.1KB (79% syr)
news.admin.net-abuse.email      106arts (71% syr)       245.9KB (63% syr)
news.lists.filters              28arts (60% syr)        248.5KB (74% cox)
news.admin.net-abuse.sightings  97arts (69% syr)        888.1KB (45% psu)
rec.arts.prose                  31arts (70% riddles)    2562.6KB (97% nrc)
rec.video.releases              20arts (70% riddles)    3745.4KB (99% nrc)



Ho hum, so it is stealth binary yEnc stuff, but I don't know why Cleanfeed 
isn't catching it.


The body of <7Iwua.566403$0M1.560376@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> begins

>>> =ybegin part=2 line=128 size=10485760 name=[VE] Rurouni ...

but it's apparently not getting caught by the yEnc filter I snarfed from 
Russ a while back (but looks like it should match just fine, unless my 
understanding of Perl is completely broken).
